This episode was so full of win that it’s hard to know where to start. It seemed like a random filler at the start, but it was full of those tiny neat ideas and those awesome little quirks of the different characters with as closure a really heartwarming story about a doll. Not to mention that the villain in this episode was called Autobahn. Now, if that isn’t awesome then I don’t know anymore.
But seriously though, I didn’t know that Sylvette was such a successful doll maker here. This episode gave a whole new meaning to that doll of hers, as she started making them from Gauche, and later turned it into her profession. The Wheelchair Leopardess really got her time to shine in this episode.
I’m amazed at how many neat ideas the creators stuffed in this episode. I absolutely loved the villain, but also: a carriage carried by a rhino, an old guy who dresses up young and yet tries to hit on older women, and not to mention the shoddy outfit that Lag spent this episode in as the Dingo of Sylvette. Nichi in her few episodes was also fantastic again. I really love how the setting of this series feels like no other and I love how the creators don’t shy away from mentioning these seemingly useless but still original and very neat details about the world they live in.
Rating: *** (Awesome)
From the moment the villain announced himself as Autobahn I couldn’t stop smirking, lol.
Not quite sure whether this was filler. Not that it matters. Quite coincidentally, a bit of Gauche’s past was revealed through the eyes of the Shindanated doll. Well played!
This was in the manga too 🙂
Filler are meant to deepen knowledge of Letter bees’ world and chars. I never knew series making such good use of fillers as this one.
I thought there was a really cool bit of continuity when Sylvette flipped dust into the Rhino’s eyes and it was the same purple/blue of the soil. Nice detail
